What a great trip! After last week, I never thought I would say those words. Proud of the Niner faithful that made the trip. We looked like a much improved team and still have a lot of room for improvement. You could definitely see what the offense is supposed to be. I haven’t said that very often this season. It also helped that we were playing with the lead.
What a great tailgate scene. We are wasting a golden tailgate opportunity not using the available grass spaces near the stadium for tailgating. The energy around the stadium before the game was fantastic. Plenty of green and purple tailgating together. We have a lot to learn about building a football culture but I was a proud NIner on Saturday. ECU fans were great hosts. Lots of beers, food and shots shared.
I always knew having an in-state university in our conference would be big but i may have underestimated it. Walking around and seeing familiar faces was awesome. There was plenty of chatter at the office all week and there will be plenty more tomorrow.
You could tell what it meant to our players to win that game. They came over to our sections afterward to thank the Niner fans. Winning that game was HUGE in so many ways. Let’s keep improving.
